[ week one: investigation ]

INVESTIGATION
On Friday morning, you wake up — groggy and uncertain over when you went to sleep, how you went to sleep, and how you got in your bed. Yet, you are in your bed (unless...?) and there is a sense of foreboding in the air. Some people might notice their roommates are not in their beds. Some people might notice their roommates are still sleeping. Let's hope the ones who aren't there just got up a bit earlier than everyone else and aren't, you know, the victim. Or victims.

But the doors are unlocked now and the house is accessible again. Time to go investigating.

HOW THIS WORKS: Below are top levels for every location in the house. Please reply with your character entering or interacting with the location and the mod journal will reply, sharing details over what your character will find in the location. We'll let everyone in the discord know when all points of interest have been found.

[ Uh oh. Here come the tears. But unlike every other time Haruaki has cried in this house (constantly), there are no dramatic waterworks bursting from his eyes like geysers. Just fat tears welling up in his eyes and silently spilling over. ]

Y-yeah.

[ Give him a sec. Let him swipe at his eyes with the back of his sleeve and take a few deep breaths. ]

I'm sorry you and Milly-san saw that. It's not fair...

[ Her eyelids lower, and she manages a slight smile, despite everything. Giselle magically spawns another handkerchief despite giving one to Grace and co. already, offering it to him with a hand. ]

It's no fault of yours.

[ Someone was going to see it. It just happened to be the two of them. And whatever emotions seeing that stirred her, if any at all, don't show through her serenity. ]

Perhaps you might offer Milly some comfort, when you have a chance. That may quell a bit of your worry.

[ Giselle...

Haruaki accepts the handkerchief gratefully, daubing at his eyes and nodding.

I will. Let's talk later, okay?

As you wish.

[ Pat pat pating his hand as he takes the handkerchief. Poor Haruaki... he's LITERALLY just baby... ]
